Cytomel
is the popularly recognized brand name for the drug
liothyronine sodium. This is not an anabolic steroid but
a thyroid hormone. It is used medically to treat cases
of thyroid insufficiency, obesity, certain metabolic
disorders and fatigue. Specifically this drug is a
pharmaceutical preparation of the natural thyroid
hormone triiodothyronine (T-3). When administered,
Cytomel increases the patient's metabolism. The result
is an increased rate of cellular activity (noted by a
more rapid utilization of carbohydrates, fats and
proteins). Bodybuilders are particularly attracted to
this drug for its ability to burn off body excess fat.
Most often utilized during contest preparation, one can
greatly decrease the amount of stored fat without being
forced to severely restrict calories. To this end
Cytomel is commonly used in conjunction with
Clenbuterol and can produce extremely dramatic results.
This combination has become very popular in recent
years, no doubt responsible for many "ripped" on-stage
physiques. It is also noted by many that when thyroid
hormones are taken in conjunction with steroids, an
increased anabolic effect can be seen (noticeably
greater than if the steroids are used alone). This is
likely due to faster utilization of proteins by the
body, increasing the rate for new muscle accumulation.
One
should take caution if considering using this drug.
Cytomel comes with an extensive list of warnings and
precautions which are not to be ignored. Side effects
include, but are not limited to, heart palpitations,
agitation, shortness of breath, irregular heartbeat,
sweating, nausea, headaches, and psychic/metabolic
disorders. It is a powerful hormone, and one that could
potentially alter the normal functioning of the body if
misused. When administering Cytomel, one must remember
to increase the dosage slowly. Generally one 25mcg
tablet is taken on the first day, and the dosage is
thereafter increased by one tablet every three of four
days for a maximum dosage of 100mcg. This will help the
body adjust to the increased thyroid hormone, hopefully
avoiding any sudden "shock" to the system. The daily
dose is also to be split evenly throughout the day, in
an effort to keep blood levels steadier. Women are more
sensitive to the side effects of Cytomel than men, and
usually opt to take no more than 50mcg daily.
It is
important to stress that a cycle should last no longer
than 6 weeks and it should never be halted abruptly. As
slowly as the dosage was built up it should also be
lowered, one tablet every 3-4 days. Taking Cytomel for
too long and/or at too high a dosage can result in a
permanent thyroid deficiency. After doing such, one
might need to be treated with a drug like Cytomel for
life. It is also a good idea to first consult your
physician and have your thyroid function tested. An
undiagnosed hyperfunction would not mix well with the
added hormone. An athlete should also be sure never to
purchase an injectable form of the drug. It is generally
an emergency room product, much too powerful for
athletic use. Since T-3 is the most powerful thyroid
hormone athletes are using, this is generally not the
starting point for a beginner. Before using such a
powerful item, it is a good idea to become familiar with
a weaker substance. The highly popular Triacana is very
mild, allowing the user much more latitude (from severe
side effects) than Cytomel. An in-between point is
Synthroid (synthetic T-4), still weaker in action than
Cytomel. Once the user is ready however, the fat
burning effect of this hormone can be extremely
dramatic.
